    Yes, It has been converted. Unfortunately ECM is in very difficult location, on fire-wall

    318 running like a top, then just stopped

    Wow, Thank you for all the info. Regarding the ballast: I wasn't aware that the ballast could fail if it had connectivity. I simply disconnected the wires and checked for connectivity between terminals. I assumed a bad ballast would show an open circuit. I will check for specific resistance...

    I have to agree with that.

    Yes, the other is the voltage regulator. Thank you for the input. When you say it is a common way to fail are you refering to the ECM. I am under the impression that the voltage regulator shouldn't interfer with spark from coil, or keep the car from starting. Is that incorrect? Not sure how to test.

    318 running like a top, then just stopped

    Also, there are two electronic boxes on this car. One on the fire-wall near distributor(has larger connection boot), and the other on the inner fender well (two pin connection on that one). Not sure which is ECU , or what the other one is.

    318 running like a top, then just stopped

    Well found no spark coming off coil. But tried different coil, still no spark. The multi-meter suggests the ballast is good (upper connections and lower connections each showing contact).

    Well, my '64 Signet, with a 318 has been running beautifully. Until yesterday. After about 10 minutes of driving, while ideling at a stop, the motor just stopped (just as if the key were turned off). It wouldn't start again immediately. But, about 15 minutes later, it started normally and ran...
